I've been a lurker on this forum for awhile so I decided it's time to join. I have always enjoyed the open, friendly and helpful people here. I have been modeling off and on for many years, but ship modeling has always been my ultimate passion. I have completed the AL Harvey, the Niagara and now working on the Model Shipways Syren.
I know there many Navy vets out there. Military skipped a generation with me, but I come from an Air Force family. Grew up around aviation and spent most of my younger years around airplanes. So how did I come to ship modeling? Maybe from living in a land locked state, but both of my daughters are Navy and while they were at USNA, I spent every chance I could get at the museum. It is quite the collection.
